标题: one question

only an expert in some branch of psychology could understand why patrick is behaving irrationally. but no expert is certain of being able to solve someone else 's problem. patrick wants to devise a solution to his own behavior problem

which one of the following conclusions can be validly drawn from the passage?

1) patrick does not understand why he is behaving in this way.

2) patrick is not an expert in psychoogy

3) patrick is not certain of being able to devise a solution to his own behavioral problem

4) unless charles is an expert in some branch of psychlogy.charles shuld not offer a solution to patrick's behavioral problem

5) if charles is certain of being able to solve patrick's behavioral problem, then charles does not understand why patrick is behaving in this way

what will you choose? thanks

Formal logic question.

UPBI="understand why patrick is behaving irrationally"
EBP="some branch of psychology"
CASP="certain of being able to solve someone else 's problem"
E="expert"

From the stimulus we got:

UPBI--->EBP
E--->CASP not

Charles "charles is certain of being able to solve patrick's behavioral problem"= Charles CASP, Charles--->CASP--->E not = EBP not---> UPBI not.

That's 5.
